A review by ekschulz
Children of Refuge by Margaret Peterson Haddix

3.0

So much of what made the first book captivating was the mysterious nature of what was really happening. Children of Refuge lacks that captivation factor because it is written from the perspective of Edwy. He still hasn't figured out many aspects of his situation, while his counterpart in the first book knows everything. Because of this, he's slowly discovering over the course of the whole book what Rosi discovered in the climax of the last book.

On the bright side, Haddix does a great job of creating a likable and believable 12 year old rebel. His voice (full of questions) rings true.
